Lions live together in a pride, which means they have ranks. The male is highest in rank, followed by the female who takes lead in the hunt. The other lionesses usually follow up in order of age, but it may also be in hunting skills. The cubs are always lowest in rank.
Since the male lion is the highest in rank, he gets to eat first, which means he gets the most food and also the best parts. He is followed by the lionesses (also in ranking order) and the cubs finish off.
This behaviour is simply pride (or: pack, in the case of wolves) behaviour. The highest in rank gets to eat first and get the best bits.
